A fascinating look at the cutting-edge science and technologies
that are on the cusp of changing everything from where we’ll
live, how we’ll look, and who we’ll be, by the popular science
broadcaster and bestselling author Jay Ingram. Where will we live?
How will we get around? What will we look like? These are just some
of the questions bestselling author and popular science broadcaster
Jay Ingram answers in this exciting examination of the science and
technologies that will affect every aspect of human life. In these
pages, Ingram explores the future of our technological
civilization. He reports on cutting-edge research in organ and limb
regeneration, advances in prosthetics, the merging of the human and
the synthetic, and gene editing. Vertical farming and lab-grown
food might help feed millions and alleviate pressure on the planet.
Cities could accommodate green space and the
long-awaited flying car. Finally, he speculates on the future of
artificial general intelligence, even artificial superintelligence,
as well as our place on Earth and in the universe. The potential
impact of these developments in science and technology will be
powerful and wide-ranging, complicated by ethics and social equity.
And they will inevitably revolutionize every aspect of life and
even who we are. This is The Future of Us.
